My Smile
A smile is all I've got
When he makes me feel like I'm not worthy.
A smile is all I've got
When he decides his words won't hurt me.
A smile is all I've got
On cloudy days of gray,
When nothing seems to go my way.
A smile is all I've got
When I simplify my situation.
A smile is all I've got
When I can't say anything nice about myself.
A smile is all I've got
When my heart is hurting as much as my head.
A smile is all I've got
When my year revolved around him.
A smile is all I've got
When I don't want to unnerve him.
A smile is all I've got
When I finally leave his clutches.
A smile is all I've got
When he says he can't live without me,
When he says he won't live without me.
A smile is all I've got
When I never look back,
Not once,
Not even a thought.
A smile is all I've got
At the end of the day
When I go to bed
Without all his miserable ramblings in my head.
A smile is all I've got
When it turns out it was all I ever needed.
